Quarterback: Joe Flacco was inconsistent most of the night but made enough plays to be effective. There was a belief he would get on a roll after last week, but it didn't happen. His interception in the first quarter stalled one drive, and he should have chucked the ball instead of fumbling at the end. Grade: C-

Running backs: Alex Collins was the player of the game. He carried this team and was the offense's only consistent weapon. Collins finished with 120 rushing yards on 18 carries. Buck Allen rushed for 25 yards ron six carries. Collins showed great acceleration on outside runs. Grade A
